Its been a while I have not written any articles in the recent times, Encountered a interesting issue so thought of sharing it across , We witnessed a environment where customer had SRM 5.5 installed on a windows 2008 environment.

Connecting to SRM failed with a error “Lost connection to SRM Server X.X.X.X:8095

The server ‘X.X.X.X could not interpret the client’s request. (The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.)”

We encountered the above message while trying to connect via the vsphere client.

Since verifying the logs is the first thing we are good at. I went through the DR logs to check the cause of the issue.
